The 2018 Los Angeles Book Festival Awards named “Buccaneer- the Provocative Odyssey of Jack Reed- Adventurer, Drug Smuggler and Pilot Extraordinaire” by Jack Carlton Reed and MayCay Beeler the Winner in Biography.

MayCay Beeler is a American Record-Breaking Pilot, TV Personality, Best-Selling Award-Winning Author, and FAA Chief Flight Instructor at Triad Aviation Academy. As a TV Host for the popular program “PM Magazine”, MayCay initially learned to fly for a television assignment that would change the course of her life. Through her passionate ongoing work as a professional pilot, aviation author, journalist, speaker and founder of her signature flight program, “The Diva Flight Experience”, MayCay shares the joy of flight with others by affirming what she knows for sure: Life is full of infinite possibilities.

MayCay also knows, first hand, that life is an amazing adventure. When she reached out to convicted Medellin Cartel cocaine smuggling pilot Jack Reed in prison for research on a documentary she was producing, MayCay had no idea her life was about to change. Reed had refused to talk to cops and press until MayCay came into his life. When she heard Reed’s infamous life story, her jaw dropped. MayCay never dreamed she would become his co-author and a character in his life’s twist of fate ending. The outlaw pilot, Reed, and lawful fly girl, MayCay, would eventually land an Amazon #1 international multi award-winning best selling true crime book. Reed’s provocative story, involving the longest most publicized drug trial in US History, has never been given to any other journalist.

This LA literary award marks the eight book award for “Buccaneer- the Provocative Odyssey of Jack Reed- Adventurer, Drug Smuggler and Pilot Extraordinaire”. This month, MayCay is headed to Hollywood to be honored at the 2018 Los Angeles Book Festival Awards. See www.losangelesbookfestival.com.
